Thankgiving Day

Thanksgiving was held at our house this year. We had an exciting day with a new cousin born- adding to our blessings! We feasted, watched Charlie Brown, held new babies, visited with family and thanked the Lord for a wonderful day!

Nine day old, London was well loved and had many willing arms to take him!

We also took turns going to the hospital to see new Baby Lucas through out the day.

We ended Thanksgiving trying to decide what stores to go to first on Black Friday!

Christian Harpfest

Yesterday Jennifer and Susan went to a Christian Harpfest put on by the Marini family in Lancaster County, PA. We spent the day with about 20 harpists practicing Christmas music together and receiving instruction from several harp teachers.

At the end of the day, Mr. Marini (who builds harps- Marini Made Harps) gave a devotional.
